Chapter 143 Why bother for an outsider?

Even the younger generation below her didn't take her seriously just because Wen Jinshu had greeted her.

Xu Shanshan gripped the chair tightly, her hands turning bloodless.

It's as if she's nothing without the Wen family.

This...this era is unfair to her.

Wen Qianqian couldn't help but speak up, "But it's a fact that Second Brother hit someone."

Jiang Yu nodded. "It's a misunderstanding. Your second brother is willing to compensate."

Wen Qianqian opened her mouth, "...But, but it's too little!"

Jiang Yu laughed, "A thousand yuan? That's extortion, sister!"

Wen Qianqian "..."

Jiang Yu then told her, "Tell your aunt, why bother with an outsider!"

This outsider once again left Xu Shanshan feeling powerless.

Actually, she didn't like Wen Changyu, nor did she like the child she had with him, but in the eyes of outsiders, they were a family.

Her actions in helping Wang Jinghui are seen as siding with outsiders and being out of her mind.

Perhaps... perhaps only by getting a divorce as soon as possible can I sever all ties with this disgusting family.

Having figured this out, Xu Shanshan stood up and coldly told Jiang Yu, "There are no outsiders or family members involved. Wen Changyu and I are getting a divorce, and I will have no further connection with the Wen family."

Jiang Yu: "..."

Hearing Wen Jinshu say that his parents were getting a divorce was one feeling, but Xu Shanshan saying it herself was another kind of shock to Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu opened his mouth, "...Ah, Auntie, did you and Uncle have a fight?"

"What couple doesn't argue? My parents..."

Before Jiang Yu could continue, Xu Shanshan had already turned around and gone to find Wang Jinghui.

She went to "persuade" Wang Jinghui, saying, "The Wen family is bullying people by relying on their power. Wen Jinzhou has already been taken away. They... they said that if you don't agree to mediation, you can only stay here."

“They’re trying to force me to bow down to Wen Changyu. I won’t go. I’ll go to Wen Changyu tomorrow to get a divorce certificate. With this divorce certificate, if the Wen family dares to lay a finger on you again, I will definitely sue them.”

Wang Jinghui “…”

He was speechless.

They dare to do this today, are they afraid of this?

"They have no respect for the law," Wang Jinghui could only curse.

He thought the Wen family was rich enough to take advantage of him, but little did he know that the Wen family was not only rich but also crazy, and they completely ignored his outrageous demands.

They even hit him and threw him here.

Should we make him stay in the detention center tonight?

Forget it!

"What about the thirty yuan?"

Xu Shanshan couldn't bring herself to say that Wen Jinshu was only willing to give five yuan, as that would make her seem incompetent, so she said, "Give it to me, I've packed it up, I'll give it to you in a bit!"

"Then... I'll go back. I guess I'm just unlucky."

He glanced at Xu Shanshan's red eyes and said, "Shanshan, don't be sad. I don't blame you for what happened today."

"It's my own fault. I was ignorant and didn't know how to be discreet, which made the second son of the Wen family angry."

He knew what kind of person Xu Shanshan was. The more understanding he was, the more Xu Shanshan would hate the Wen family for being unreasonable and barbaric.

Sure enough, Xu Shanshan said, "How can this be your fault?"

"You got beaten and you still blame yourself? There's no justice in this world."

"Yes... I'm sorry," she said apologetically to Wang Jinghui.

After thinking for a moment, he said to Wang Jinghui, "I'll give you this thousand yuan when I get back."

Wang Jinghui naturally waved her hand, "How could I take your money?"

Xu Shanshan immediately raised her voice, "It's not my money, it's their family's money."

"Take it if they give it to you. You should take it. Do you think they're going to bully you for nothing?"

Wang Jinghui looked embarrassed. "Shanshan, this...I..."

Xu Shanshan looked at him, her expression softening. She sighed and said, "Jinghui, I was the one who wronged you in this matter. If you take this money, I'll feel better."

Wang Jinghui sighed helplessly, "Since you put it that way, I won't refuse you."

"But don't worry, you're just keeping this money with me for now. If you ever need it in the future, just let me know and I'll pay you back in full."

He accepted it, and Xu Shanshan suddenly felt relieved.

Because she thought of another way to get revenge on the Wen family, she took all the money with her and would use it all to compensate Wang Jinghui in the future.

Wen Jinshu said that this was something his father had risked his life for, didn't he?

Then let's use the money his father earned with his life to pay off his brother's debts!

So she chuckled and said, "This is what you deserve, you should keep it. What's this about not paying it back? I don't need you to pay it back."

Wang Jinghui decided not to pursue the matter further, so Xu Shanshan naturally took the person away.

Jiang Yu dropped Xu Shanshan off at the police station entrance, then got on his motorcycle. "Aunt Xu, where are you and Qianqian going? Do you need me to give you a ride?"

Having already made her divorce from Wen Changyu public, Xu Shanshan no longer wanted to maintain appearances, so she coldly said, "No need."

Jiang Yu didn't insist, saying, "Then I'll be going now."

——

Wen Jinshu returned home before the end of the workday, bringing Wen Jinzhou with him. Both brothers looked unwell, and Zhizhi knew that her second brother had definitely hit a wall.

She had just seen Xu Shanshan shopping for groceries and cooking with that man that morning. If Wen Jinzhou was lucky, he would definitely run into them together...

"Big brother, why are you back so early today?" Zhizhi immediately went up to him and asked.

She could probably guess, but... she still had to ask, otherwise wouldn't it make her seem scheming?

She is a simple, innocent, kind, and beautiful younger sister, not some vicious and scheming woman.

"And why is your second brother with you?"

Then Wen Zhizhi, with her keen eye, noticed a faint scratch on Wen Jinzhou's face, made by a fingernail, which looked like it had been scratched, or perhaps...

"Second brother, who slapped you in the face?" Wen Zhizhi said loudly.

That's right, she did it on purpose!

Wen Jinzhou went to see Xu Shanshan. It goes without saying who did the injury on her face, which is why Wen Zhizhi was so loud.

She wasn't trying to embarrass Wen Jinzhou on purpose; she just felt that if her second brother didn't come to his senses soon, he was probably doomed!

After all, Xu Shanshan's mother is really a bit crazy.

Zhizhi called out, and Wen Jinzhou instinctively covered his face, "No, no one..."

When He Yuzhi and Wen Runxiang heard that their grandson had been beaten, they quickly came over.

"You got beaten up?"

"Where did it hit? Let me see?" the old lady asked with a pained expression.

With his grandparents pulling his hands away, Wen Jinzhou could only show the half of his face that had been hit, where there were indeed clear fingerprints.

"Who hit him?" He Yuzhi asked immediately.

Wen Jinzhou opened his mouth but couldn't say anything.

But could He Yuzhi guess, "Did your mother hit you?"

The old lady suddenly realized something, "Did you see her with that other man, and that's why she hit you?"

Upon hearing He Yuzhi's words, both Wen Jinzhou and Wen Jinshu looked at their grandmother.

Wen Zhizhi raised her hand weakly and said, "This morning, the Cultural Relics Administration Department ran out of repair materials, so I left work early. Because it was so early, I thought I'd wander around the area. I had only walked two intersections when I saw my mother in a storefront. She was leading Wen Qianqian, and there was a middle-aged man with her."

"The man was of medium height and had a rather delicate appearance. I think... he does look somewhat like Qianqian."
